February 16 and 17, Tales
of Hoffman, March 24 and 25; and
La Forza del Destino, April 21
and 22.
The series is endorsed by mu-sic
lovers in Sioux Falls and in
t h e neighboring communities.
AAUW believes it is not only
helping to promote higher educa-tion
but primarily is giving ev-eryone
an opportuniy to hear and
see fine entertainment from the
classics.
Barber of Seville is magnifi-cently
sung by the soloist and
chorus of the world famous
Opera-Comique of Paris. This
picture received t h e Foreign
Films News Achievement Award
for "the best original film opera."
Tales of Hoffman is in techni-color
and is presented by the
London Films. Stars and Sadler
Wells' Chorus of Red Shoes fame
are again seen and heard in this
magnificent film. The music is by
the Royal Philharmonic Orches-tra,
conducted by Sir Thomas
Beecham.
La Forza del Destino by Verdi
is beautifully presented by the
Rome Opera House orchestra and
chorus. This opera was presented
by the Metropolitan Opera Com-
, party during last year's season.
Student tickets for the series
of three are $1.35, tax included,
and are available from Miss
Roisum at her office on the third
floor of the Administration build-ing
until February 10.

delinquency and related prob-lems.
The meeting, the first under
new LSA officers, was planned
by Bill Rossing, vice-president,
and will start with a supper at
5:30.
Society Elections
Decide New Slates
Although the groundhog voted
against it last Tuesday, Augus-tana
students have already seen
the first signs of spring manifest
in the usual deluge of campus
elections. Many of the campus so-cieties
have elected new slates
of officers for the present semes-ter.
The Adelphic society elected
Pat R. Johnson, president, Connie
Ness, vice-president, Gloria Bale,
secretary, and Trudy Aker, treas-urer.
Helen Kvernes, president; Marj
Swanson, vice-president; Hallie
Vik, secretary; and Joan Perre-noud,

Madalyn Endahl, treasurer for
this term.
Philos — Sharonne Graff, pres-ident;
Gert Risty, vice-president;

Maren Strand, treasurer, will
supervise the meetings of the
Philomathian society.
The Phi Ro Beta society has

Geyer, vice - president; Chuck
Chilson, secretary-treasurer, and
Gene Stageberg, corresponding

Meyer Gains Ph.D.
From U of Wisc.
Karl W. Meyer, assistant pro-fessor
of history, has received his
Doctor's degree in history from
the University of Wisconsin. His
doctoral studies have centered
upon European history.
Meyer, a graduate of Valpar-aiso
University, where he taught
for a year before joining the
Augustana faculty, received his
Master of Arts Degree from the
University of Maryland. In 1948
and 1949 he studied at the Uni-versity
of Basel in Switzerland.
Ode Reigns as
Sioux Empire
Dairy Queen
Beauty crowns seem to be the
style for Augustana coeds this
year, and Dorothy Ann Ode, a
junior from Brandon, S. Dak.,
kept in the royal mode January
25 at the Coliseum where she
reigned as Sioux Empire Dairy
Maid.
The comely 21-year-old Miss
was sponsored by the Sioux Falls
Livestock Foundation and won
over a field of 19 other contest-ants.
She was presented a $150
cash award and an expense paid
plane trip to the April Ice Fol-lies
in Minneapolis.
Dorothy was a little wary of
entering the contest, which coin-cided
with semester tests; but
she overcame her fears with en-couragements
from her sponsors,
who recalled her earlier reign as
4-H Princess at the Sioux Empire
Fair last fall.
Here at Augie, Dorothy busies
herself with a giant's share of
ctivities, including Tuve Hall
ounsellor, LSA, LDR, Adelphic
ociety, French homer in the
and and a newly won position
s ASA secretary. She plans an
nglish major with minors in
istory and music.
Second Semester
Registration
counts 611 Augies
Registration figures, excluding
light school students, reveal an
ncrease of 29 students over last
rear's second semester totals. 611
kugies went through registration
ines, compared to the 582 of last
rear.
255 frosh, 147 sophomores, 95
juniors, 97 seniors and 17 part-
,ime and special students formed
the ranks of registrants, with the
women holding a numerical edge s
of nearly 80 over the fellows.
Mrs. Margie Johnson of Sioux
Falls, and Betty Hembd of
Ocheyedan, Ia., two-year normal
students, were graduated at mid-term.
Bergeland Directs
Campus Drive for
Student Chest Fund
A report from John Knudson
on a conference of the executive
officers of the LSA and ASA
concerning the adoption of the
proposed student chest drive re-ceived
a vote of approval from
student council members at a
meeting, the first under President
Jim Hinrichs, last Friday morn-ing
in the gymnasium classroom.
Sioux Falls sophomore, Dan
Bergeland, was elected by
the council to head the drive,
which will be getting under
way the last part of Febru-ary.
The council voted to set the
goal for the student chest drive
at $1600, as the committee sug-gested.
Of this sum, 53 per cent
will be designated for LSAction,
44 per cent for the Foreign Stu-dent
Service Fund and 3 per cent
for operating expenses. A n y
amount over the established goal
w i 11 b e equally distributed
among these groups.
Editors Set March
Venture Deadline
Venture, Augustana's literary
magazine, will have a greater
variety in its content this year,
according to co-editors Donna
Kirkeby and Sharonne Graff.
Short stories, poems, essays and
plays will still be the basic part
of the magazine. The editors hope
to make the "trimmings" differ-ent,
however. Plans have been
formulated to include songs writ-ten
by music students, drawings
and unusual photographs. The
subject matter is limited to those
things which will interest stu-dents.
Members of the English depart-ment
are acting as advisers for
the publication. Only material by
students now in college will be
accepted; and some articles and
poems have already been turned
in to the editors.
The deadline for Venture is
March 15, and any copy should
be given to the editors by that
time. Members of Chi Epsilon
are sponsoring the magazine
again this year.
